In these two projects will be invested $ 100,000, said to Politika Dragan Jablanović, Mayor Leposavic/Leposaviq.

According to preliminary results from the processed 2,352, out of 2,374 polling stations in Kosovo, the Democratic Party of Kosovo won Kosovo early parliamentary elections with 30.69 percent of the vote. Threshold was crossed by the Democratic League of Kosovo, the Self-Determination Movement, the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo and the Initiative for Kosovo. Pacolli's Alliance for Kosovo with 4.65 percent remained below the threshold as well as the Serbian list with 4.21 percent of the vote. 

Aleksandar Jablanovic, who heads the Srpska electoral list, believes that it will have over five percent of votes won in the Kosovo early elections once the ballots cast by voters in northern Kosovo and internally displaced persons are counted.

The votes cast in northern Kosovo in Sunday's early legislative elections are still being counted, and the votes of displaced persons for the Kosovo assembly have not been processed yet, Jablanovic told reporters in Kosovska Mitrovica on Monday.

The decision of the Serb local leaders from northern municipalities to quietly boycott elections of 8 June, has irritated Serbs from the other parts of Kosovo. The justification of the northerners that their boycott is related to Kosovo’s state symbols in the ballots is not considered sustainable at all by the other leaders of this community.

Belgrade, and Vucic’s Government, which calls for participation in elections through a single press release, is being criticized as well.

EU Special Representative in Kosovo Semuel Zbogar stated for RTK2 that the existence of public TV in Serbian language is essential for the Serbs in Kosovo. He said that RTK2 broadcast information from all Serbian areas, and called on for the expansion of the signal in the north.
